After seeing Harris92's SWEET 1960 Imperial Glen Blue, I really liked it. I know it's unlikely I'll stumble across one, so I jumped on this 2012 AU Smokey Joe Gold (The Outrider) because it had a similar blue color. It's missing the lower grate for the charcoals and has one or two chips.
Came with the partial bag of charcoal and some lighter fluid (I'll keep it in case I wind up using a fire pit at some point).
I've on the lookout for some larger ones too, but couldn't resist this light blue color.

I like it. Grate score. Congratulations.
That's a very rare joe - nice find!
I just couldn't resist because of the color.
Very awesome!! Love your robin egg!

You're on a roll man!
NIce find but I thought The Outrider was a JJ?
Pull out your measuring tape if its not 18.5" its not an outrider.

Nice! The color of that one is "Blue Wave"..... or possibly "Wedgewood Blue".

I got the term "The Outrider" from the WKC writeup on the history of the Smokey Joe. http://weberkettleclub.com/grills/weber-smokey-joe-history/
According to the writeup, the 14.5 inch SJ Gold and the 18.5 inch SJ Platinum were BOTH aka as "The Outrider". The SJ Platinum is allegedly also known as the Jumbo Joe, even though it was actually replaced by the Jumbo Joe. For what it is worth, the article does not mention whether, or not, the replacement "official" Jumbo Joe is also known as "The Outrider". That being said, it is possible that the writeup is not 100% correct.

Nice! The color of that one is "Blue Wave".
Thanks for providing the color name!
It's a beautiful color! Congratulations!
Very nice!!
Is that possibly a Euro? I didn't think that colour was available in North America.
Great find, love that color. Congrats!

Hopefully someone knows because I have no idea.
If nobody knows, I'll try asking over at Weber (otherwise, I don't want to bother them if someone already knows).
I don't know the answer to your question...but what I do know is I have a new grill added to my grail list! (Trying saying that five times fast!)
I believe Weber did offer this in the US but only thru Pampered Chef?? as some sort of hostess incentive gift. The color is/was also readily available in Europe

Very rare in Europe too!
@zavod44 did you get yours?

Probably not, since both Zav & someone else are both trying to trade me for this one. The problem they are having is that I like it & don't even know what I'd be willing to part with it for (until I see it anyway).
If I had known this when I used to travel overseas (work, extended family reunions, & visiting ex-wife's family), I would have looked for some interesting SJs to bring back home on the plane. It was back before the baggage charges, so I could have even carefully packed a big one in a box as checked baggage. Would have been fun looking.

Good to know. Thanks Scott.

Beautiful. The company is called the pampered chef if I recall correctly.
Thanks for the link to the old thread
@MacEggs.
It's also an AU, so I wonder if they did them only in 2012 or a couple other years. Maybe someone from across the pond knows.
Yes
@Scott Zee is correct - it was a very limited run promo done for Pampered Chef... they did not sell it thou, it was a gift reward that the sales people could trade points in for so I think that's why you don't see many. I actually contacted pampered chef and posted on the message board seeing if anyone else had one but no responses...
One my favorite SJs for sure!
Thanks for the info
@SixZeroFour!
Nice score! Should clean up nice.
Picked up a black M code Smokey Joe today for $1 that will provide the donor lower charcoal grate for this one.
Congrats! I also scored blue wave sjp in like a new conditioin.
I can not get into wkc forum from home. pc,so no pics yet.
Glad you found one. Mine does have a ding in the porcelain of the bowl. The pic is from the CL ad. I'll take pics after cleaning and post. It was listed for $25, I offered $20 over the phone. Got there and noticed the charcoal grill was missing and wound up getting it for $10.
I'm new here & bought it because of the color. Didn't know they were somewhat uncommon, I just liked the color.
That being said, I could tell there were some avid collectors in Illinois, so when 9 hours passed between contacting the guy and getting a response, I figured it was gone. Turns out he works through the night and probably just woke up.
